Small-world properties of the Indian Railway network
Abstract
Structural properties of the Indian Railway network is studied in the light of recent investigations of the scaling properties of different complex networks. Stations are considered as `nodes' and an arbitrary pair of nodes is said to be connected by a `link' when a train runs between them. Rigorous analysis of the existing data shows that the Indian Railway network displays small-world properties. We define and estimate several other quantities associated with this network.Keywords
